"Gets hot" That's an understatement.

i repaired a pincture hole in a gas can with some of that UV activated epoxy like the dentist uses. so far it has held up. i do try to keep it out of direct sunlight, but i dont think it matters after it has been activated. i just do it just in case

I have patched a chain cutter puncture hole in one of my oil canisters by dripping burning hot molten HDPE on it, the canister is HDPE too.
First patch attempt did not hold, I was too careful and did not get the canister plastic hot enough to "burn out" oil contaminants so the plastics did not bond.
On my second attempt I melted an even bigger hole through but managed to close it up and get the patch to boil/bubble.

Disclaimer:
This is a 2 liter B&C oil canister, no pressure other than gravity and handling.

I have 5 or 6 of the older ones but not a fan of the newer ones, the spout/lock ring don't fit very good. I started buying the white/clear 5 gallon VP Racing knock offs from Rural King. damn near 1/3 of the price of a No-Spill.

Figures…cause I don’t have a rural king near me. Doesn’t seem to be much available these days for a reasonably priced fuel jug worth a darn.

Magnus has a nice thread about old oil and fuel containers, I don't know if you have it here too

Went out last night and took some pics of the Aurora Australis. Absolutely amazing and the first time I've ever seen it here in NZ. Could be seen with the naked eye.

I gave this thing a break-in, cookie cutting semi dry turkey oak.
She doesn't like it!
Not my unit!



Came with a full chisel chain, didn't cut my dry oak logs worth poop.



Does OK after grinding, cutters were different length.
Still bogs down the saw though.

I also washed and stored two sets of winter tires.
Did the swap yesterday.

I ground 3 .325" and 3 3/8" LP loops this PM while heat cycling that blue thing.

Fresh dressed pink/salmon wheel takes a nice clean bite creating next to no blueing.

Those look like what we call "donuts here"

Replaced my Sierra shocks with almost 182k. Bump stops had a little wear too. The secondary catch wouldn’t release the spare so that’s all getting replaced too. I had to unbolt the hoist to get the spare off.
